A fragmented OCR note argues for practical application of knowledge to reveal hidden questions about a city and company deal. It references a Dustbens proposition, city supervisors’ responsibility to the people, and hints at an election taking place next year.
The Bulletin reports on city supervisors and business leaders arguing over a proposed telephone franchise. They question terms, potential costs to the city, and long term control, urging voters to study the contract details before committing. A key point concerns leadership continuity and the impact of a long twenty seven year charter on Honolulu.
An editorial attacks a Honolulu telephone agreement debate, denouncing a local paper organ and political figures. It criticizes bias against the Hawaiian race, cites votes against the contract led by Supervisor Aylett and others, and warns that intelligent government can’t be won by inflammatory, unhelpful rhetoric. The piece laments lack of public disclosure of the agreement text.
Grand Jury reports no grounds for charges against Dr John Atcherley and wife Mary Atcherley. Foreman James D McInerny notes confidence in the solicitors and the inquiry ends with the judge addressing the case status. Names listed include EL A Botts and Deputy W Catherine, plus Frank Andrade District Magistrate of Hor.
The Trent Trust Co lists Mokiki 8 with 3 bedrooms for rent at 65.00. It also advertises Munanu Avenue property with 4 bedrooms for 100.00.
Sheriff W P Jarrett and three doctors head the insanity commissioners. The Grand Jury is asked to oversee the inquiry since the Attorney General and City Attorney cannot appear in their official roles. The foreman or another Grant Jury member may conduct the witness examination.
The Territorial Grand Jury listened with interest as Judge De Holt spoke on witness procedures and the appearance of witnesses. The court emphasized one witness at a time, oath administration, and testimony free from argument, while names of alleged conspirators sparked surprise among jurors.
Bulletin lists contact lines for offices with numbers 258 for the Business Office and 188 for the Tutorial Room. The fragmented note implies campus information services and room contacts. No dates or named entities beyond office labels.
A historic 1909 agreement details the Mutual Telephone Company laying underground conduits in Honolulu for police and fire systems. The document outlines construction, cost sharing, rights of way, maintenance, inspection, and future extensions, with city objections and required permits. The extent includes duct No 1 and provisions protecting both parties for twenty seven years.
